Toronto-based painter Ruth Oosterman has made her mark on the art world with the help of her 3-year-old, Eve. The two have been collaborating on paintings together since Eve was just a year old, beginning with a watercolor titled The Red Boat that was born out of a marker drawing by Eve. The experience catalyzed a change in Oosterman's art from what she describes on her website as "structured and realistic with the occasional abstract flare" into a "spontaneous, carefree" style embracing possibility in the perspective of a child.

Oosterman describes herself on her YouTube channel as an "artist whose passion for painting spilled over into her personal life, inspiring a series called Collaborations with my Toddler that can now be found around the world."
